Practical test-time domain adaptation for industrial condition monitoring #worldresearchawards

Image
  Introduction Machine learning has become a cornerstone of modern industrial analytics , particularly in condition monitoring systems that rely on sensor data for fault detection and health assessment . Despite strong performance during development, many models suffer significant degradation when deployed in real-world environments due to domain shift , where operational conditions differ from training settings. This challenge motivates the need for adaptive, practical, and deployment-ready learning frameworks that can sustain reliability without continuous manual intervention. Domain shift challenges in industrial condition monitoring Industrial condition monitoring systems operate under highly dynamic environments involving varying loads, speeds, sensor types, hardware configurations, and environmental noise. These variations induce domain shifts that violate the assumptions made during model training, leading to increased false alarms or missed fault detections. Traditiona...

A Semi-Automatic Framework for Dry Beach Extraction Using Photogrammetry šŸŒšŸ† #WorldResearchAwards

Image
Introduction The spatial configuration of dry beaches in tailings ponds is a key indicator for assessing tailings dam safety and operational stability. Traditional two-dimensional image-based approaches often fail to capture the true geometric and spatial characteristics required for accurate monitoring. To address these limitations, this research integrates deep learning –based semantic segmentation with three-dimensional reconstruction from UAV imagery , enabling robust, high-precision dry beach extraction and analysis in complex tailings environments. UAV-based 3d reconstruction for tailings analysis High-resolution UAV images are used to reconstruct detailed 3D point clouds of tailings ponds, forming the geometric foundation of the proposed method. By deriving the projection matrix for each image, a precise correspondence between 2D image pixels and 3D spatial points is established. This step enables accurate spatial mapping and overcomes the inherent depth ambiguity of conv...

Low-Temperature ε-Ga₂O₃ Films for Solar-Blind Detectors | #WorldResearchAwards #Ga2O3

Image
Introduction ε-Ga₂O₃, a metastable yet technologically important polymorph of the gallium oxide family , has recently gained significant attention for its potential in high-power electronics and solar-blind photodetectors . Its exceptional optoelectronic characteristics, wide bandgap , and inherent crystallographic advantages make it highly attractive for next-generation device architectures. However, synthesizing pure-phase ε-Ga₂O₃ through low-temperature and energy-efficient methods has long remained a major challenge due to its metastability and the tendency to convert into more stable phases such as β-Ga₂O₃. The present research addresses this limitation by demonstrating the successful low-temperature fabrication of phase-pure, highly oriented ε-Ga₂O₃ thin films using thermal atomic layer deposition (ALD), opening new pathways for scalable and high-performance device applications. Low-Temperature Synthesis Strategy The study introduces a low-energy thermal ALD route utilizing trim...
